Thanks Indigo, so I know that at least for that our school gets it right. I don't think he is "bad" at math, as he worded it, and he likes the subject, but I don't know what exactly is going on. I was never ahead in math either in my childhood, though it always came easily to me, until junior high school when I started getting Calculus and algebra, and then at the university. So maybe he is just a happy conforming kid!
